We were very impressed with the whole site; the lodges are nestled among tropical planting, giving it an immediate relaxing holiday vibe. Una 53 is close to the main spa facilities, a short walk away. The facilities were excellent, with very friendly staff. I would certainly recommend having a treatment and if you’re lodge has a gold card, you get 20% off. Una 53 was very clean, spacious and well equipped. We made full use of our private hot tub. Alfred was very prompt at resolving an issue we had; very friendly and helpful. The only downsides:The room that was set up as a twin is too small; you couldn’t close the door without pushing the beds close together- hardly a twin and certainly not great for two adults sharing, it would have been better to set up the master room as the twin. The bed in the master en suite room was very hard for me. You can walk to the beach, but it’s a good 20 mins and down/up a very steep hill and the lane from the resort has no pavement, is narrow and a bit of a rat run!
